Why Correctional Nursing?

Not every facility has the same pace — some are high-acuity, high-volume med pass environments; others are lower-volume but just as clinically important.

• Responding to emergencies and supporting urgent care needs

• Collaborating with healthcare and correctional teams

• Maintaining accurate documentation in a structured, secure setting

• Health, Dental & Vision Insurance – We've got you covered

• CPR Certification – Need it? We’ll get you trained

Mileage, Housing & Travel Support

• 100+ miles – Mileage + hotel (per night worked)

• 200+ miles – Full DOC travel package: mileage, hotel, meal per diem

Be Patient with the Process

Getting hired into the CDOC isn’t instant — the background check and onboarding process is thorough and can take several weeks. But for many of our nurses, it’s been worth the wait.
